6-Day Kilimanjaro Climb via Marangu Route (The Classic Hut-Based Route to the Summit of Kilimanjaro)

The 6-day Marangu Route, also known as the “Coca-Cola Route,” is the only Kilimanjaro route offering hut accommodation throughout the trek. This classic path ascends gradually from the rainforest at Marangu Gate, through moorland and alpine desert zones, to the snowy summit of Uhuru Peak. With an extra day for acclimatization at Horombo Huts, this version increases your chances of a successful summit. It’s ideal for climbers seeking a comfortable, well-established trail with scenic views, steady elevation gain, and historic significance as the oldest route to Africa’s highest point.
